The Hive of the Ozarks

Joy Robertson heads to Willard, Missouri to visit The Hive of the Ozarks, a cozy, cheerful café that’s so much more than a breakfast and lunch spot. Founded by former school counselor Melissa Skaggs, The Hive is a non-profit workforce training ground where individuals with differing abilities gain real-world job skills through paid internships, and where the food and mission are equally heartwarming.

From scratch-made kolaches and coconut lime cookies to house-made hummus and artisan mixed sodas, The Hive serves up local love in every bite. Joy chats with Melissa about leaving her counseling career to start The Hive, her son Jacob's journey, and how the community is helping this sweet spot buzz with purpose. You’ll also meet some of the incredible team members, regulars, and supporters behind the scenes. Grab a coffee, settle in, and prepare to be inspired. 🐝💛

Thanks to our Savor The Ozarks sponsor, Arctic Food Equipment!
